I think the prices will just continue to slowly drop over time. The new 09 car will have no impact. It won't be until the masses of 3rd and 4th gens are depleted down that the value will go up.

The 1st gen camaros have racing history and each car had it's own niche, Z28, big block, SS, RS etc. and that set each car apart from the others. Now, other then maybe the IROC and the special edition cars that may go up in price some, but all others are just cookie-cutter cars with a few different body parts. They are just not rare enough to warrant big price tags and after market built cars never match the prices of factory built cars. I don't see the 4th gen SS or Firehawk being the future 69 Z28.

The one thing I never understood is why firebirds never went up in price the way the camaro did? back in the 70's everyone wanted a T/A yet now the prices are so low in the market?

Just my .02
